IF YOU TRAWL the posting boards at FreeRepublic.com long enough, you'll go mad. Hundreds of voices are shouting, spitting, and clamoring for attention at any given moment. The night of Wednesday September 8 was no different. Following the 8 P.M. airing of CBS's 60 Minutes hit on President Bush's record in the Texas Air National Guard, Freepers were rattling their cages and pinging around the web in anger and disconsolation. On a thread begun in response to a New York Times article about the 60 Minutes story, "tomahawk" wrote, "The MSM [mainstream media] are whores for Kerry, whores for Democrats, and whores for Jihadists. Through their lies and distortions, our country's continued existence is now in doubt."
Amidst this clamor, the post by "Buckhead" could easily have gotten lost. At 11:59 P.M. (all times in this article are Eastern Daylight Time), Buckhead wondered about the fonts and spacing of the memos supposedly typed by Bush's National Guard commander and "newly obtained" by 60 Minutes. Buckhead speculated that they couldn't have been produced in the early 1970s, when they were dated. "I am saying these documents are forgeries," Buckhead wrote, "run through a copier for 15 generations to make them look old." In an email to THE WEEKLY STANDARD, Buckhead was loath to claim credit for his insight: "The internet is a big place, and I can't believe that other people didn't notice the same thing around the same time." Nor did he want acclaim: "I don't care to be outed as my alter ego. Day job and all that." .....

Shouting, spitting, and clamoring for attention bump.
Buckhead for Attorney General!
Now that's a title that deserves some champagne!

freeper pajamahadeen bump
Shouting, spitting, and clamoring for attention....that doesn't sound like FReepers, it sounds like the Clintons.
Kinda ironic...
CBS pushed the story that guys in pajamas beat our troops in Vietnam.
Now, guys in pajamas beat CBS for real.
Hey -- they spelled "pajamas" correctly!

What an ass! People come to Free Republic so they won't go mad. CBS news and articles that start out like this one did, are two excellent exmples why.
I come to the pajamathon so that idiots like this will get their just rewards right under what they have said.
Stick it, 'Suitbound!'
I'm not in a cage (okay, a cubicle), and I'm not angry or disconsolated (new word?). In fact, I'm feeling pretty good about the way this CBS document scandal is unfolding. They're being exposed for the partisans that freepers all knew they were. Arguing with libs about MSM bias is going to be a whole lot easier now.
Amidst this clamor, the post by "Buckhead" could easily have gotten lost.
My butt. FR has a good search feature and I've never had a bit of trouble finding what I'm after, even for stories that are years old.
Let me rephrase this article - "The Freepers kicked our butts but I still don't like them."
"The Freepers kicked our butts but I still don't like them."
Bingo!
If you read FR and still try to cling desparately to your liberal positions, yes, you will go mad. But it would be a short trip!
bttt
Death rattle from the Old Media.
Time for a new tagline
Ping (For disconsolated)
I dont know this guy, but I LOVE Fred Barnes and William Kristol...
Im gonna write them and tell them the tone of this guys column is insulting..
